Big noise in sedan with one delayed going over states (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charivari

'big noise' is the definition.
(type of parade involving making loud noises)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for charivari that I've seen before include "uproar" , "Mock serenade" , "Noisy welcome" , "Hubbub" , "cacophony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
